4th Railway Package – Implementation of the Technical Pillar 10th PRIME Plenary Meeting, Sopron, 12 June 2017

Josef Doppelbauer, ERA Executive Director

Is There a Future for Rail?

2

Key Elements of the Technical Pillar

The Agency will issue single EU-wide vehicle authorisations and safety certificates to train manufacturers and railway undertakings

The Agency will be in a position to issue an approval required for the NSA authorisation of ERTMS trackside projects (a binding opinion on ERTMS trackside specifications)

All applications to the above processes will be handled by the so-called One-Stop-Shop developed by the Agency

• Covering applications at the Agency, but all national applications for Safety Certification, Vehicle authorisation, and trackside/infrastructure authorisation as well

Member States are encouraged to appoint their own programme managers

Where are we – Safety Certificates and Vehicle Authorisation

• ERA recommendation on the revision of the CSM for assessing conformity with the requirements for obtaining a railway safety authorization – Delegated Act – Final consultation July 2017

• ERA proposal for Implementing Act Practical Arrangements on Vehicle Authorisation sent to the EC by mid of March 2017 – Vote at RISC expected in November 2017 – Clear distinction between Vehicle Authorisation for Placing on the Market and

Route Compatibility – IM involvement limited to identify and provide

• operational conditions to be applied for the use of the vehicle for tests on the network • any necessary measures to be taken on the infrastructure side to ensure safe and

reliable operation during the tests on the network • any necessary measures in the infrastructure installations to perform the tests on the

network.

– The infrastructure manager shall • participate in the pre-engagement upon the applicant’s request and support the

applicant for the conditions to use the vehicle for tests on the network; • provide information on the infrastructure in a non-discriminatory way for using the

vehicle for tests on the network, and • identify and provide conditions and measures to use the vehicle for tests on the network

within the given timeframe

Where are we – ERTMS Trackside Approval

ERA proposal for ERTMS trackside approval

• Principles agreed with stakeholders

– Conditional approval based on expected list of documentation and evidences for issues from the issue log (lessons learned from previous projects)

– Proposal to be tested during learning cases

• Final ERA proposal for EC recommendation (beginning of 2018)
